Kelsey Short Youth Camp, 17980 Collins Road, Smithville, MO 64089
Opens Thursday 12:00 PM
Closes Monday 12:00 PM

This event was previously known as Chillies. It was planned as a fall edition of Lilies War that would hopefully allow the Kingdom to experience our favorite Lilies activities without the overwhelming summer heat. 

Many of the same activities found at Lilies are planned for Winterfylleth. Arts and sciences classes, armored and steel combat, archery and thrown weapons, and a Chili fundraiser scheduled on Saturday night. 

Many people will arrive on Thursday afternoon and camp until Monday morning. The campground is fairly primitive, so planning ahead is important. If you have camped at Lilies previously, please be aware that only a portion of the campground is being used for this event, so you may not have access to your normal camping area. 

Costs for the event are $50 for adult non-members, $40 for adult members, $15 for youth ages 6-17, and free for children 5 and under.
